MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
I own a v1 (silver) MC Pro for about a year now, and I'd like to extend it's possibilities with the on-board video-switching system.
Will the following components work together in order to make the MC Pro switch video sources when switching workstations? - Keyspan USA 19-HS - Gefen 4x1 DPKVM Has anyone got tips or recommendations on this? Thanks! Niek/ Amsterdam.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
I think it should work. I saw that the gefen you mentioned has also a serial adapter so this you connect to the keyspan which is connected to your 5-mc usb port. don't forget to install the proper keyspan USA 19-HS drivers on your 5-mc.
for more information look here: http://connect.euphonix.com/document..._Switching.pdf

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
You need the Ontrak ADU200 USB Relay I/O Interface and the correct Gefen model. See the doc above for info.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
Thanks too Eddie,
does this mean my v1 MC Pro only works with the Ontrak and only with the recommended video-switchers? I read in the Avid document called "MC Installation" http://cdn.avid.com/MCPro_EUCON/2.7....stallation.pdf , on page 7: "On MC systems with multiple workstations, you can switch display and keyboard control between workstations. The MC uses a Keyspan USB-to-serial adapter to control a KVM (keyboard/video/mouse) switch with a serial connector. This setup will allow relay switching of up to four inputs to a single output on a DVI/KVM switcher (such as the Gefen eX-Tend-It series)". Now, I'm a bit confused; does only the Ontrak do the job, or the Keyspan as well? Niek/ Amsterdam.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
I'm sorry you are total right, we added the Keyspan to it a while back and the system detects what you have connected (Keyspan or Ontrak) and uses it. V1 and v2 can use either.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
Thanks Eddy,
Quite a relief while obtaining an Ontrak here in The Netherlands is not easy. Niek/ Amsterdam.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
Gefen 4-port Displayport-switchers are not available any more unfortunately.
http://www.gefen.com/kvm/ext-dpkvm-4...?prod_id=10026 Does anyone know if the Gefen 2-port Displayport-switchers will work? http://www.gefen.com/kvm/ext-dpkvm-241.jsp?prod_id=8689 Or the Blackbox AVSW-DP4X1A ? This switcher listens to Ascii codes 1 thru 4 ...... http://www.blackbox.nl/nl-nl/fi/1465...ayPort-Switch/ Thanks! Niek/ Amsterdam.

Re: MC Pro Workstation&Video-switching
The Gefen 2 port should work. I'm not sure about the Blackbox.
